One of New South Wales largest coastal lake systems - and an official Ramsar Wetland of International Significance - makes Myall Lakes one of the most visited parks in NSW. The Grandis, a magnificent 76 m high flooded gum, is one of the tallest trees in the state. The Myall Lakes National Park incorporates 31 562 ha of headlands, forest, swampland and a staggering 10 000 ha of coastal lagoons. These lagoons - Myall Lake, Boolambyte Lake, Two Mile Lake and The Broadwater - are linked by narrow straits which form a continuous waterway joined to Port Stephens by the lower Myall River. Between the lakes and the sea, are high sand dunes and 40 km of almost unbroken beaches.

The ferry at Bombah Point leaves every half hour from 8.00 a.m - 6.00 p.m. The car ferry transports you across to Myall Shores, from this point a walking track leads to the mouth of the Upper Myall River. A very poor quality unsealed road leads to the township of Bulahdelah just 15 kms away.
